Pur Water Filter?

[Bessiexj9]

Hi Everyone - newbie again....

Can you tell me what you use for misting/drippers? I've gone through five gallons of bottled water since Wednesday. This isn't working. My Jenny *loves* her daily 'shower'.

Do any of you use Pur water filters or anything like that? I can keep doing bottled but I was wondering if a water filter wasn't the way to go?

BTW - we're on well water so I can't give it to her out of the tap - even with our water softner.

Thanks!

Get your drinking water from Wal-mart. normally 60 some cents per gallon.

I actually get mine from another store, where refill water is 29 cents per gallon. shop around and find the places with the fill your own culligan water. The on faucet ones do not filter the water enough for my tastes, unless you get a reverse osmosis system for the faucet, but those are not really cheap. I thought about one of those but it would take me 2 years to have it pay for itself vs the water I buy

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. I found one at WalMart for .30/gal. for Culligan.

Pur and Brita filters don't really remove a whole lot from your water. Reverse Osmosis is the way to go and can be hooked up directly to a misting system. The one that we have has 4 different sets of filters that only need to replaced once a year. They can range from about $300-$3000 for a really good and reliable system.

Yikes, if that's the case - I'll stick with bottled. I don't feel right using our 'filtered' water here that originates from well water.

Well water isn't always bad. The best water I have ever had was well water from back home in michigan.

I can imagine that well water from florida might be kind of gross

LOL - it is!!!! If we don't use salt pellets, it stinks to high heaven.

I'll stick with bottled.

We recommend prefilters (the filters that treat the water before it reached the RO membrane) be replaced every six months.

With some shopping at an appropriate vendor (aghm), you can find high quality systems that can be built to your specifications if needed, for much less than $300.
